@emiltb just set a newer Java environment. For example: sudo archlinux-java set java-11-opendjk In case you need to know which ones do you have, run: sudo archlinux-java status

On my system running cinnamon, PP doesn't have an icon in the task bar when running it. In the desktop file, please change the following line

StartupWMClass=PortfolioPerformance

to

StartupWMClass=Portfolio Performance

i.e. insert a space. This fixed it for me.

@xsmile: There is an option in the settings that allows saving the GUI options to the same path as the xml file.

@whnr: Thanks, deleting the two directories works. The only downsides I could find are that several UI related settings like the language and recently opened files are deleted as well.

@xsmile PP is running successfully with Java 23 for me. If the application does not start after an update try to delete .eclipse and .PortfolioPerformance in the home directory. Do this at your own risk — never had an impact for me.

The application fails to start with Java 23 being the new default. According to the developer Java 17 is required.

I recommend depending on a static Java version, e.g. with:

@tuxxx: Thanks for taking care of the package. I did not report the issue upstream. My setup is:

• X11
• Cinnamon
• java-22-openjdk

Thanks for the suggestion using .local/share/applications/portfolio-performance-bin.desktop. That works well for me and will be persistent across updates.

@tuxxx: On my side the situation is unchanged until today. This means the error is reproducible and the solution still works.

I am using @olebowle's hint to change the .desktop file and am happy.

I have no clue what is the problem, my environment is:

• X11

• Cinnamon

• java-17-openjdk (default)

Only one java is installed. My last information is that no one told upstream about the issue yet.

@ Richie / olebowle: I am unable to reproduce the need of this environment variable on different arch systems with openjdk 17 and i am not sure about negative side effects of adding this for everyone. Is upstream aware of this? If this is something only needed in very specific setups it is maybe the best to use a custom .desktop file or add this to /etc/environment?

@Richie: Thanks, that did the trick for me as well. I changed the EXEC line portfolio-performance-bin.desktop now to:

Exec=env NO_AT_BRIDGE=1 PortfolioPerformance

@whnr: Would you be willing to adjust the PKGBUILD accordingly?
